Replacing Bulbs and ballast

I looked at a lot of websites and decided to go with standard Phillips bulbs 4300k and discovered quality ballast from ; http://www.theretrofitsource.com/
I choose to go with the Morimoto 35w ballast with the long D2S cord made into it. The rubber seal fits perfectly in the stock hole.

See link to pictures

First Thing you will need a 10m Socket with extension and ratchet and Phillips and flat head screw drivers. Wire cutter and soldering iron. First thing I do is disconnect battery for safety.

Remove all clips from plastic cover that goes over grill. Remove all bolts that connect to bumper underneath. Remove Clips that hold fender well so you can get to the 2 bolts inside of bumper on each side by fender wells, underneath light housing. Grill and Bumper should slide off with a little tug. Remove bracket that bridges both headlights. Now you can remove both headlights with only 4 bolts , Leave metal bracket on headlight. Unplug the two sets of wires and light should come right out. Now you can replace bulb and replace ballast as well.
Unscrew cap on light housing and unclip both sides of the light plug , light will come out now. If replacing ballast you have to remove wire plug metal cap to fish plug out of the bottom of housing. It is a pain in the a** but it will come out. remove old ballast and prepare for new one. Cut plug and solder a 9006 plug to housing make sure positive is lined up with positive lead. it should be green wire. Now you can fish new D2s wire into bottom of housing and pull out of back of housing and plug new bulb. Rubber plug fits perfectly into bottom hole and seals housing. I mounted ballast on the bottom of housing just like stock one. Plug things back up and bolt things back up .
